"The Easter Vigil, during the holy night when Christ rose from dead, ranks as the "mother of all vigils." (Augustine, sermon 219:PL38, 1008)

After consultation with the twilight chart for Denver and taking into account other pastoral considerations:

On April 15, 2006, the Easter Vigil should not begin before 8:00 p.m.

We hope this early information assists you as you plan for the great feast of Holy Saturday and the Easter Season.
